How do you understand „by default“ and „keep“ in this phrase? Does it actually mean that they do not collect the logs?

My first reading of "by default" here is that I can optionally enable it through my account.

Really, it's a phrase that means 3 things: I can enable it, ProtonMail can enable it[0], or the authorities can compel ProtonMail to enable it.

Saying any of that, or at least linking to a page that does, would be a smart move.
